Eirika and Ephraim get married

Give me a break! Now, close sibling relationships are a fairly common theme in the Fire Emblem game. However if this were true, I shudder to think of the backlash that Nintendo would have received. The actual misconception states that, in the Japanese version, Eirika and Ephraim's paired ending indicate that they get married. However, in truth it doesn't and the ending is virtually identical to the English version.

The marriage system was great in FE4, but only because you actually have kids that then become your units for the second half of the game. If they aren't doing that, I don't really see this as particularly interesting.

mind blown!! Nintendo randomly does interesting shits; I just recently watched EU trailer for Pandora's Tower and the deformed girl biting the monster flesh was WAY disgusting compared to usual gore and blood

Apparently, before the 'prophets' coming on earth, this was widely practiced; at least I know Persians did this (though probably to protect their bloodline or someshit, and not cause of some freedom etc.)

The new trailer says that you can do this. They also show an example.

The only marriage that will happen if this doesn't get a US localization is between my fist and Reggie's smug face.

Make it happen, Reggie.

Depending on how it's done, not only is this the right thing to do, but it's great and free publicity for Nintendo/flagship 3DS titles.

My body is ready. Does this mean I can have Marth cheat on Sheeda? I'm liking this already. XD Get on this NoA!!! I want this shit in North America ASAP. Though I did just buy a 3DS from Japan, so I really don't mind... but I wouldn't be able to understand shit otherwise...

I hope marriage isn't important, I don't want it getting in the way, or accidentally romancing characters I'm chatting with!

That said, this is the game I'm most excited for this year. Put it in me!

I'm tired of being punished by video game media for being a bachelor.

Tell me when Fire Emblem introduces polyamorous relationships.

I've never cared about creating relationships with video game characters, but being able to have kids and use them in your party sounds great.

Also, is Shadow Dragon worth it just because it's Fire Emblem?

It's probably the worst of the localized Fire Emblems but it's not a bad game.

There's only 1 brother and sister pair in FE4, and those 2 were never confirmed to be brother and sister although it's strongly implied that they are.

I hope it wouldn't really be seen to be controversial (same sex marriage), we've been able to do it in the Sims for over 10 years now.

Providing they're DLC characters, totally marrying:

Ike x Ranulf (Screw you Soren!)
Jill x Haar
Mia x Everyone

It means after KI, this is another Nintendo game with huge amount of content. Good.

Also these graphics/art style please me a lot.

Don't.

Just... stay away from it.

I have never played a game more emotionally devoid than that game.

But does this marriage thing have any kind of implications in the gameplay? Aside of having your children in the team (aka KONY FE)

Like, I don't know, if your main character is in danger and you're married, she/he comes and makes some kind of special attack trying to save you.

GIVE ME BLOODLINE BABIES, NINTENDO! >:c

I still call this the ultimate gaiden/Side Story Fire Emblem, but being bale to marry and breed will make it a lot better/more tolerable. XD

Do you have something against straight characters? I don't at all like the Bioware approach where every character is what you want them to become rather than a personality of their own. If they happen to have characters as straight or gay or bi that should ideally be the writers' choice and vision and have nothing to do with the company wanting to appear progressive or not.

Sure, I agree, but at the same time, it is equally lame that all characters are assumed straight and willing. If we can't have some nuance, I'd prefer for both straight and gay relationships to be possible across the board.

Well marriage sounds like a nice addition, as long as the personality in the characters exist.

What would be even more funny is if the characters get rejected on different circumstances. Like say a straight character tries to marry a gay person, but cant due to the lack of attraction from the significant other. I know they wont do that, but that would make things more interesting than shaping the sexuality to your desire always.

Wait wait wait... the marriage thing is not new and not a surprise, although an awesome thing to have.
But someone fucking explain me the MY UNIT thing. YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN CHARACTER?
As in western RPG's, with its looks and all? How does that work with the ingame artworks?

It could be pretty epic if thats the case.

EDIT
Mmm, seems to be also in the DS game, I hope its exapanded in this one.

And lol at people thinking the marriage aspect is new (and being repulsed by it), and I havent played to the majority of fire emblems.

They've apparently made 2d art for each 3d piece individually, and then the game makes a composite artwork based on the ones (and the colors) chosen by the player.

Iwata : 'we really don't want catfish to buy this, how can we 100% stop that from happening'

some designer: 'What if we let the characters marry each other?!'

Iwata: 'bingo'
